The only problem is that those "few hours" were without lower unit oil.

True story.

I have a good friend who runs a dealership and this spring had a brand
new Nissan 5 hp kicker stolen from a customer's boat. He had just
installed the kicker bracket and put the boat in a secured lot, but
the fence was cut and it was stolen.

The engine was brand new - it was shipped w/o oil and oil hadn't been
put in yet per customer request.

Sure as my first name is Tom, a couple of days later, in walk two kids
with the engine wondering why it won't work.

Later,

Tom
